so my hope is that as the president and his advisors look at the united states senate, they see, number one, a willingness to solve a problem of fixing the debt in a bipartisan way. i get the feeling they don't believe that about us. i don't know what else we can do to cause them to believe that. there is not the same kind of comfortable relationship back and forth that there should be. i've heard some people say well, the johnson-dirksen days, that was ancient history. that is ancient history. that was a long time ago. but madam president, human nature doesn't change. human nature doesn't change. not in 50 years, not in 100 years, not in 500 years. and there is plenty of goodwill here across the aisle, on this side of the aisle, at the beginning of this term, to work with a newly inaugurated president to say mr. president, we're ready to fix the debt, provide us the leadership, no great crisis is ever solved without presidential leadership in the united states, and you're the president, you're the only one who can lay out the plan. then we'll consider it, we'll amend it, we'll argue ab

states senate. if i am confirmed, one of the first things i intended to do is sit down with senator menendez and senator corker and invite all of the members of this committee to come together, hopefully at a time when there is no interruption and we can really dig in and talk, talk about how we can have a constructive dialogue and collegial relationship, because even as we pride ourselves on separation of powers and a unique oversight role that the committee place, the challenges in the world are so enormous that we would do our country a disservice if we did not identify the ways we can help each other to confront the unique set of questions globally. if you confirm me, i would take office as secretary proud that the senate is in my blood, but equally proud that so, too, is the foreign service. my father's work under presidents both democrat and republican took me and my siblings around the world on a personal journey that brought on the sacrifices and commanded that the men and women of the forei
